Chapter 26
Island Diplomacy Bureau Condemnation? Beat Nishimoto First If You Have the Guts!

China is trash!

China is trash!

China is trash!

These six words,

This sentence,

Like a torpedo,

Smashed into the ocean!

For a moment,

All the Chinese who saw this sentence,

Instinctively clenched their fists!

Their hearts filled with anger!

Closing their eyes,

The images in their minds,

Flashed like a movie!

From the smoke-filled air of the First Sino-Japanese War,

To the wolfish ambitions of the invasion,

And then to the inhumane massacre!

Decades ago,

Those island invaders,

Used guns and cannons to tear open our gates!

Used iron hooves to trample our land!

Used butcher knives to harm our people!

Island!

That is a pain,

That the entire Chinese nation,

Can never forget!

It is a national humiliation etched into Chinese history!

Looking back at Nanjing,

The once prosperous ancient capital,

Under the rampage of the islanders,

Became a living hell!

Once—

Those little islanders,

Also laughed,

Also said:

“A bunch of Zhi Na pigs, run faster, run faster!”

“Run faster, and we won’t kill you!”

“Oh! We’re letting you run, why can’t you outrun the bullets?”

“You’re really just a bunch of trash!!!”

And then—

The response to that was,

Mountains of corpses!

Blood flowing like rivers!

Desperate cries of despair!

Burning, killing, looting!

Doing everything evil!

In their eyes,

China was trash!

Now—

China is prosperous,

China has risen,

Unexpectedly,

Those six words appeared again,

In the eyes of all Chinese people!

In an instant,

The fire in their hearts,

The anger in their hearts,

The hatred in their hearts,

All surged up instantly!!!

All Chinese,

Their faces turned flushed red,

Their fists clenched tightly!

That expression,

That reaction,

That look,

If Nishimoto Kentaro were in front of them,

He would probably be torn to shreds!

But even if he wasn't in front of them,

At this moment,

As his words spread,

He has become a common enemy of the Chinese nation!

“92 years ago, you carried cannons and stormed into China, saying we Chinese were trash! 92 years later, you islanders still say we Chinese are trash!”

“So infuriating! So infuriating! It’s so damn infuriating! Why haven’t those islanders died out yet!”

“Damn! Where does this Nishimoto Kentaro get the courage to dare to publicly insult China!”

“Saying we’re trash? Now, in terms of comprehensive national strength, what kind of trash are you islanders?”

“Shameless! Shameless! You’ve got no shame at all!!!”

Voices of anger!

Voices of counterattack!

Voices of scolding!

Rising one after another!

If it were in the past,

Nishimoto Kentaro’s words,

Wouldn’t have spread so quickly,

But today is different,

Because whether Lin Feng can win the singles championship,

This event has extremely high popularity on the entire internet,

So, Nishimoto Kentaro was also mentioned by many people.

And because of this—

Countless people saw his war declaration post!

As well as,

Those insulting remarks about China!

And soon,

#Island Badminton Player Insults China#

This topic,

Directly jumped to the top of the hot search on multiple platforms!

WeChat groups!

QQ groups!

Xiaohongshu!

Weibo!

Douyin!

Kuaishou!

Almost everyone,

Almost the entire China,

Almost the entire land of Kyushu,

Was discussing!

Was angry!

Were burning with anger!

Were furious to the extreme!

Decades ago,

You humiliated us to the utmost,

Decades later,

You still want to humiliate us like this?

This is truly pushing things too far!!!

It wasn’t just the netizens,

This matter also caught the attention of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Without any hesitation,

They directly held a meeting!

At the meeting,

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs,

Spokesperson,

Strongly condemned the island,

And Nishimoto Kentaro!

And ordered them,

To delete the post,

And publicly apologize!!!

“China cannot be humiliated!”

This was the closing statement made by the spokesperson!

It was like this decades ago,

And it cannot be like this decades later!

But—

To everyone’s surprise,

Facing China,

The island actually dared to jump up:

“Regarding the issue of insults raised by the Chinese side, we have investigated and found that it was the athlete’s personal behavior!”

“Furthermore, the athlete’s intention was to declare war on the Chinese team participating in the current Bari Olympics, which is normal competition behavior!”

“Is the Chinese side being a bit too sensitive in its reaction?”

“Currently, during the Bari Olympics, if athletes have any problems, it’s best to resolve them on the field and not involve politics!!!”

These few sentences can be summarized as:

Solve Olympic matters at the Olympics!

If you’re capable, you Chinese beat Nishimoto Kentaro and beat us, the Great Island Empire!

If you’re not capable, don’t condemn this or that here!

It’s useless!!!

Hearing this response,

The entire Chinese public,

Was even more enraged!

Arrogant!

Too arrogant!

These islanders,

Are really arrogant beyond measure!

Who gave them this courage?

Who gave them this confidence?

At this moment,

Many people,

Their fists were about to explode!

But actually,

The reason why the island responded this way,

Is still because they have faith in Nishimoto Kentaro!

You see—

Since,

Lin Dan retired,

Lee Chong Wei got sick,

And Chen Long stopped competing due to illness,

This Nishimoto Kentaro,

Has directly become the number one men’s singles badminton player in the East!

In Asia,

And even the entire world,

He has won championships in numerous open tournaments!

Furthermore—

In the 2021 Tokyo Olympics,

He also won the gold medal!

Although, the island referees were secretly working behind the scenes,

Targeting the Danish badminton player, Viktor Axelsen,

But he did indeed win the gold medal!

Although it wasn’t glorious,

It wasn’t that bad either!

Otherwise, those islanders,

Wouldn’t be so confident!

So—

The bottom line is, we still have to defeat Nishimoto Kentaro,

But…

Can Lin Feng do it?

“Probably not!”

“I’ve seen Nishimoto Kentaro’s match videos, he’s very strong!”

“His level is almost the same as mine back then!”

“I even feel like he’s better than Lin Dan!”

“But after watching Lin Feng’s videos, I only feel like he’s relying on his physical strength, although he has skills, but not many, this is a big disadvantage!”

“If Nishimoto Kentaro hits any high-difficulty shots, it’ll be hard for Lin Feng to return them!”

After the island responded,

A reporter found Lee Chong Wei, one of the former badminton Four Heavenly Kings of Singapore.

He interviewed him,

But Lee Chong Wei,

Wasn’t very optimistic about Lin Feng!

Of course—

“I still really hope that Lin Feng can win!”

“Those islanders are truly going too far!!!”

Lee Chong Wei still knew about the crimes that the islanders committed in China in the past,

And he was also very angry!

Combined with his feelings for Lin Dan,

And his affection for China,

He was also very angry about Nishimoto Kentaro’s actions!

And with his interview video coming out,

The entire China,

All the netizens,

Were even more worried!

Lin Feng…

Can Lin Feng win???

It wasn’t just the netizens,

At this moment,

Inside the entire national badminton training base,

There was also a gloomy atmosphere!

But they weren’t worried about Lin Feng,

But about the mixed doubles final,

Two hours later.

This final,

Was a match between China and the island,

But just now,

The island side announced a change of players!

Actually—

There wasn’t anything wrong with it,

China’s side,

Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong,

Were incredibly strong!

In terms of combined ranking,

In the world,

Just like the Liang Wang pairing,

They were also number one!

Coming to Bari this time,

They were aiming for the championship!

But now,

Something unexpected happened!

The island side,

The men’s doubles player,

Was replaced by Watanabe Kento!

He,

Was the older brother of the originally participating player,

Watanabe Eita!

Once—

He won the mixed doubles championship in three consecutive Olympics!

Before Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong,

The world’s number one in points,

Was Watanabe Kento and his partner!

He was a famous badminton player during Lin Dan’s era!

If singles and doubles couldn’t be combined,

Then he would probably be on par with Lin Dan!

After all—

He had too many awards!

In his professional career,

Just championships alone,

He had won over a hundred times!

He was the undisputed number one in island badminton in the previous era!

And this time at the Bari Olympics,

He also came along,

And became the mixed doubles substitute!

They originally thought,

That this islander wouldn’t play,

After all, Watanabe Eita was his younger brother,

He should let his brother have some fame!

But…

He still made his move!

It’s probably…

Also related to Nishimoto Kentaro’s insulting provocation!

These islanders,

Just don’t want China to win!!!

Therefore,

At this time, inside the national badminton training base,

It could be described as gloomy!

It was unknown whether Lin Feng could get the singles championship,

Now, the mixed doubles championship that was almost in hand,

There was a chance that it…

Would fly away!!!!!
